We will see that the distance between the home and the school is 0.5 miles.

How far from home is their school?

We know that they meet in school after 10 minutes.

So, the distance from home to school will be equal to the slowest of the speeds times 10 minutes (we assume that the faster one arrives at school earlier than in 10 minutes).

This will be:

3 miles per hour *10 minutes.

Note that the units are different, so we write 10 minutes in hours.

1 hour = 60 min.

(1/ 60) hour/min = 1.

Then:

10 min = 10 min*(1/ 60) hour/min = 0.167 hours.

Now we can find the distance to their school as:

D = 3 mi/h*0.167 h = 0.5 miles.
